Can you guess America’s favorite restaurant?

The Cheesecake Factory is so much more than its desserts. But with 70 rotating varieties of creamy cakes, it doesn't hurt.

With the rampant popularity of fast-casual eateries like Chipotle, America’s casual sit down restaurants have suffered.

Yet all is not lost for the country’s Applebees and Red Lobsters. After several years of declining sales, Olive Garden posted its best quarterly performance in recent months, with same-store sales rising 6.8 percent during the first three months of 2016.

But when it comes to dining out in a casual setting, America’s favorite chain really takes the cake.

With 180 locations and over 250 gargantuan menu options, The Cheesecake Factory was named as the country’s favorite casual eatery in the annual Consumer Picks survey from Nation’s Restaurant News. The online survey collected over 4,800 responses from diners about their experiences with more than 173 brands nationwide. The Cheesecake Factory scored high marks for food quality and varied menu options-- of course.

Other top scorers on the casual dining index include Olive Garden, which has generated big buzz for its viral Never Ending Pasta Pass giveaway annually, Carraba’s Italian Grill and Mellow Mushroom, indicating the country’s affinity for Italian foods is still going strong.
